Chapter 169 Ishu Lake
"BSS, the test results are out. The Chinese actually have such good technology. This data is so beautiful."
Edison's assistant Ike was holding a stack of test reports in his hand. Although the performance of the water lithium battery had already been impressed in previous on-site trials, when Edison got the comprehensive and formal test report, he still couldn't believe it.
The volume of battery No. 5 is as high as 1800, the charging time is 80 of the same charge nickel-hydrogen battery. The cycleable charging life can be 300 times, and the current time cannot be concluded. However, just such paper data has completely outweighed the performance of nickel-hydrogen batteries in the field of mobile electronics.
For nickel-hydrogen batteries with similar capacity, the largest short-term memory effect is not mentioned. The charging life can be cycled only by 300 times. But in contrast, 300 times of lithium batteries are just the beginning.
In this regard, the advantages of nickel-hydrogen batteries in the market will inevitably disappear. The advantage of rechargeable batteries is their economical ability to recycle. If the performance difference is not large or even more advantageous, nickel-hydrogen batteries will definitely lose to the comprehensive offensive of water lithium batteries.
“Lithium-ion battery technology is really unbelievable”
Although I have long known the advantages of lithium-ion batteries for traditional batteries in principle, there are really formed products in front of him. Looking at the performance data that can be put on the market at any time, Edison still shook his head repeatedly.
"Have the company done its opinion on agency negotiations?" Edison asked instead.
"The engineering accounting team has completed the production cost budget for lithium water batteries. According to the price of the production line we have prepared to put into production, the production cost of each lithium water battery rechargeable battery should be US$238."
"That is to say, our agent price is likely to be around $30 per battery." Edison's estimate was already very conservative. In fact, if the agent fee is $30 and the production cost is $238, the producer's profits are likely to be compressed to $4 to $5 per coin.
One-sixth to one-seventh of profit, which is almost no profit for a new high-tech, revolutionary battery.
But of course, the cost of expanding production capacity in the later stage can definitely be greatly reduced, and it is very likely to be reduced to about US$10.
But even so, the profit only accounts for 50 of the selling price. Such a profit structure makes people feel embarrassed to say what excess profit is.
“No, according to the business negotiation team’s estimates, the Chinese people’s offer could be between $40 and $45.”
"But this leaves us with profit margins."
Edison didn't finish his words, but it was obvious that he was very stressed about such a price. Motorola mobile phone, that is, Big Brother, sold for $3,995, and at least three-digit fractions were used to pay for the cost of the battery system.
The reason is very simple. Motorola DN uses nickel-hydrogen batteries and has to wait until the second generation of DN9000 in 1989. Before that, this product used nickel-cadmium batteries.
The nickel-cadmium battery used for dn8000 maintains ten hours of standby time and half an hour of call time weighs 450. It not only contains heavy metal cadmium but also has serious memory effects. It also has heat dissipation problems after long-term use.
There are only a bunch of disadvantages, the 450 nickel-cadmium battery has only 35 hours of power.
But if you use lithium water batteries, you can calculate it at 1,800 USD 45 per battery. 12 lithium water batteries, that is, USD 540, are enough to achieve the power storage capacity of nickel-cadmium batteries.
This does not count as the advantages of water lithium batteries in terms of memory effect and charge and discharge times.
In other words, the Chinese bid for as long as no more than US$80 will not exceed the cost of nickel-cadmium batteries.
The price of $45 is actually quite touching.
However, as the saying goes, people are not satisfied with the snake swallowing an elephant. In fact, Motorola, which is clear in water, knows the cost of manufacturing this thing. However, the $238 thing is still a product produced by my highly automated production line in the United States. The Chinese people use the original production technology, and the price is probably higher.
Regardless of the cost, when I think that Chinese people can make a profit of 50 in the factory price, Edison always feels a little unwilling to accept it. How good if we made this money ourselves, a damn Chinese liar
Assistant Ike shrugged and said helplessly: "Fortunately, we are the general agents of the United States. If the sale price is less than US$100, the market will be more acceptable. After all, this kind of water lithium battery is much better in terms of power and usage cost than the products on the market today."
"Yeah." Although he was unwilling to give up, Adison could only barely swallow this, and swear in his heart that he would develop the third generation of water lithium battery technology before the Chinese.
Lu Yinglong looked at Mao Qingzhu in disbelief and asked in surprise: "Mr. Mao, I heard it right. You mean we are asking for a price of US$25 each."
"That's right, it's $25." Mao Qingzhu nodded in response.
"But, but, our production cost is less than 20 yuan."
Lu Yinglong may not understand the things about business and economy, but he participated in the debugging of the water lithium battery production line throughout the process. No one in the United States now knows better than him.
The water lithium battery production line of Xinke Factory is very automated. Hu Wenhai ordered it in the United States using the remaining funds of the one billion dollar signing fee. It is definitely the level of the United States in the early 1980s.
The raw materials for water lithium battery production were specially allocated by the General Secretary, and the funds from the state repay Hu Wenhai's F14 purchase of the machine.
Hu Wenhai had already fought for a 2.2 billion yuan fund pool in the first year, and has not even spent 100 million yuan. In order to repay the debt, the Air Force is now trying hard to search for various raw materials for lithium batteries everywhere.
As for other R&D funds, manpower remuneration, factory maintenance and operation costs
The cost of this part is almost negligible compared to the production line and principle in China.
The price of $25 per coin is a profit of two-thirds of the agent price.
"Can Motorola agree with such a high price?" Lu Yinglong seemed a little worried. Those who are studying in this era may not necessarily be simple. But if Hu Wenhai, his future father-in-law, would not be able to work for decades, he would still be a lecturer.
Originally, he was more than enough to be called an associate professor based on his qualifications and grades, but this is a problem that he can't do anything, and he is still in the lecturer class.
Mao Qingzhu was confident and said without any worries: "Mr. Lu, don't worry. I have conducted a survey on the rechargeable battery market these days, and the results are really shocking. If Mr. Hu had not personally instructed to conquer Motorola with an absolute cost advantage, I think our water lithium battery will be sold at $50."
"That's not." Lu Yinglong was so shocked that he couldn't even count. He counted with his fingers for a long time before muttering: "Seven times the profit"
"It's not that there is no need to say seven times. If I do this business, I have to sell ten times the profit, but I'm still a little conservative. I finally have the opportunity to kill Americans."
Mao Qingzhu complained a few times, but after thinking about it, he still shut up. No matter what, as a Chinese, he still has a big picture view. Of course, it can be done by selling water lithium batteries at a high price, but this will make it difficult to hook up with Motorola in the future.
The big step forward now is to move forward for the big step forward in the future.
However, Motorola cannot be so cheap. How can it recover some losses in other aspects? Mao Qingzhu held his chin with his hand and gradually fell into deep thought.
It was still the conference room of the World Trade Center, and the delegation members of Xinko and Motorola had not even changed.
Mao Qingzhu sat in the first place on the left, Ling Xiao sat next to him. Opposite was Edison sitting first and Ike sitting second. It seems that Motorola made up his mind to be responsible for this negotiation.
But of course, it was not Edison who could make the decision in the negotiations. The entire negotiation team not only had personnel from the technical department, but also had multiple departments such as the Commerce Department, Engineering Department and the Legal Department. The final result must be the final collective decision made by representatives of these departments.
"My opinion is that it is best to convince the Chinese to put all patents related to water lithium batteries into a new agency, so that it is the safest legally."
Edgar was now catching several people from the Commercial Department below and talking. As long as he convinced the people from the Commercial Department to pay more for establishing a water lithium battery agency, the Chinese could take out more water lithium battery patents and invest in new companies.
Only when the new company has enough patents can DuPont acquire it and enter the secondary rechargeable battery market without worries.
However, no matter what Edgar and the others in the negotiating delegation were muttering, Mao Qingzhu spoke first on the surface.
"In fact, we have a proposal that in order for the new company to have a good start, the president of our Xinke Company gave a name specifically for the agency."
"It is Mr. Nhh, the inventor of water lithium battery technology." Edison was full of curiosity about this legendary genius and wanted to hear what name he gave to the company he cooperated with.
"Well, yes." Mao Qingzhu nodded and continued: "I don't know what Mr. Addison thinks is the name of Yizhu Lake Company" to be continued.
